This poor teen’s first date turned into a nightmare when his overprotective mom followed him to the cafe, hid nearby, and even barged into the bathroom to break up a kiss between him and his date. The girl called their family a bunch of creeps and left, leaving the brother in tears. His older sister swooped in to save him, but not without a heated confrontation with their mom in the parking lot. Now, the brother is staying with his sister, and their mom is furious, claiming she was only trying to protect her baby. Even their dad thinks the sister’s approach was wrong. What do you think? Was the sister right to stand up for her brother, or should she have handled the situation differently?
